Weekly Update!

After another dry week, we find ourselves blessed with an abundance of fine produce.   Some of our plants are showing stress, and it's not possible to keep things watered in this kind of drought, but we are still doing well through it all.

We have more cantaloupe and watermelon this week, plus a couple of new offerings such as Butternut Squash and Eggplant.

We have decided to set up our stand at the Car City lot across from the South Belt Applemarket store each Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 AM-1:00 PM, and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM until the new school year begins.  We will also be set up at the Farris Truck Stop in Faucett, tomorrow, July 21 from 9:00-noon.

As always, those of you who are local to St. Joseph and Buchanan County can get your produce delivered to your home by emailing us or calling us (816) 238-4136.

One of our earliest promises was to offer local, quality produce at grocer prices, and we work hard to honor that.  We don't always promise to be the lowest price, but we will stake our name on the best price.  Karl and Joe visited Applemarket this afternoon and saw they had green (unripe) cantaloupe for $2.00 on their produce sale this weekend.  We believe our $2.50 price (which is our regular price) is competitive since our cantaloupe are ready to eat today.  We also don't believe you should pay $3-4 as you would for the same quality produce at the Farmers Market or other stands just down the road from ours.  Additionally, our tomatoes are local (really local), and not shipped from Arkansas, Canada, or grown hydroponically.  As far as we know, we are the only stand in town that is regularly selling locally grown produce at grocer prices.

We thank each of you that have made our first year such as great success, even in the midst of one of the worst droughts in the past century.  We look forward to continuing to serve you and appreciate your telling others about our new endeavor.

Melons Tomorrow!

We will have our Car City stand up tomorrow morning from at least 8:00 am-1:00 pm, and we will have some melons there!  Stop by and check them out.
Elizabeth Voga poses with a cucumber she picked!

We continue to have more tomatoes and a few winter squash as well.  If you have never tried spaghetti squash, then you are missing out on a low-carb alternative to spaghetti.  The flesh of the squash comes off the rind looking just like spaghetti.  All four of the Voga kids liked it.  Yours might too!  Check out this link for more information.

It's still early in the season, but we have some beautiful Amish-grown melons at our stand tomorrow.  The Athena cantaloupe is one of the best early season cataloupes to be found.  And the Stars and Stripes Watermelon will satisfy your early cravings for watermelon too.  (Perfect for the hot week the weatherman is predicting!)

As always you can email your orders to us at reynoldsvoga@gmail.com
or catch us on facebook:  www.facebook.com/reynoldsvoga

Much news for the upcoming week!

It has been a busy, busy week...and a hot one too!  We are thankful to each of you that beat the heat and made it to our stands or ordered from us!  It looks like the weather will be a little more tolerable next week, but we really need the rain to get the week started.  Despite our best efforts of pumping water into our tomato patch, our tomato plants are still very much in need of a good rain.  Nothing works as well a nice slow rain.

Super Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes are
beginning to ripen!
We will have more sweet corn available tomorrow at our stands, and then next week we will have very limited availability.  We have sold a lot of sweet corn this week.  Our patch is nearly empty!

Our tomatoes are starting to ripen, so we should have plenty of tomatoes for you and your family beginning this week.  We have a lot of cherry tomatoes already and they are SWEET!  It's hard for us to keep from eating them all at the stand on these hot days!

Because of the heat, there are few items we are no longer able to provide or that will be ending this week.  We have no more green onions.  There will be more in the fall.  We are also picking that last of our beets this week.  We have some beautiful beets ready for our Car City stand tomorrow.

Speaking of stands, we will be at the Car City Body Lot across from the South Belt Apple Market tomorrow from at least 8:00-1:00.  We may be there longer if we have customers and can stand the heat in the afternoon.  We just picked everything this evening so come early to get the best of what we have before it gets hot!  We may also have another stand up tomorrow as well.  We will post that on our Facebook page tomorrow when we are sure of the location and times.

Finally, visit Milbourne's Restaurant in Faucett this Sunday for their noon buffet.  They will be serving some of our delicious Sweet Corn.  You'll want to get there early before it's all gone.  (Just don't tell the preacher to cut it short on Sunday!)

And, as always, we would be happy to deliver fresh produce to your door.  Just take a look at our price and product list below and let us know what you would like.  There is no delivery charge for local orders over $10.00.

Sweet Corn!!!

It has finally arrived...our sweet corn is ready for harvest!   Some of you that get our home deliveries and made pre-orders have already gotten a taste of it this evening.   We have 1 1/2 acres of Bodacious Sweet Corn to pick over the next couple of weeks and just in time for your Fourth of July Celebrations.   Let us know how much you want and we will be happy to deliver to you. 

You may also find us beginning tomorrow morning at the Car City Body Lot across from the South Belt Apple Market.  We will set up our stand at 8:00 AM and will continue as long as our supplies last.  Our opening price is $4 per baker's dozen.  We think you will not be disappointed!

As the corn continues to mature, we will be setting more stands, and may likely have several stands each day in different locations.  Stay tuned for more information.  We will let you know where you may find us each day!
